IT Applications Manager

A growing organization is expanding its IT leadership team and hiring two (2) senior-level IT Applications Managers to help drive a make-or-break ERP transformation. This hybrid, permanent role offers up to $185k plus bonus based on experience and comprehensive benefits. This role is for someone who has personally owned ERP implementations end-to-end—from the moment work enters the system through downstream accounting/reporting outputs—acting as a true "right hand" to a key internal leader and bringing a high level of project ownership and accountability. The initial focus is a major ERP implementation, with multiple additional enterprise initiatives expected to follow; this hire also supports longer-term succession planning as the team evolves. What You'll Do Own ERP implementation programs from discovery through deployment and stabilization: Document "as-is" processes and workflows end-to-end Partner with the business to design "to-be" processes Support ERP evaluation/selection (including options that may sit on/around Microsoft Dynamics) Lead implementation execution, governance, and cross-functional coordination Drive change adoption and stakeholder alignment (not just task tracking) Coordinate critical phases requiring presence (deployments, key milestones, UAT) Serve as the applications leader for a key business area—future application changes/updates flow through this role. Build and maintain strong relationships with business leaders and executive sponsors; communicate risks, tradeoffs, costs, and options clearly. Ensure application lifecycle discipline across strategize, architect, select, deploy, operate, evolve, and retire, with attention to reliability, access, and security. Identify when third-party support is needed and help oversee vendor selection and engagement. What Success Looks Like (and What You Must Bring) You have owned major ERP implementations—not just supported a PMO, facilitated standups, or played a Scrum Master-only role. You can speak credibly about the realities of implementation pressure points (scope decisions, process conflict, adoption resistance, data, cutover, controls, downstream reporting impacts) because you've been accountable for outcomes. You operate as a business-facing implementation leader: you can lead process conversations, gain alignment, drive decisions, and keep delivery moving. You're comfortable stepping into an IT leadership seat—partnering with executives, carrying influence, and managing competing priorities across multiple concurrent initiatives. Strong track record leading large, cross-functional programs with full project teams, clear governance, and measurable delivery.
